Capt. I’m not arguing against the merits of the 60% threshold, I’m just suggesting that a “vast majority” did not vote against it as you suggest. More than half of the polled pilots in various ranks on various aircraft types voted to Squirrel cage (and it was absolutely line ball on another) Just because it didn’t get pat 60% does not indicate that a “vast majority” wanted the status quo.
I feel you may be a little 744 (or A380) centric in your arguments. That’s fine, but you need to understand that Longhaul is bigger than that, and consider that, if your arguments are to get any traction.
